The Warm Homes Plan represents a major shift in UK energy policy, with implications for homeowners and social housing providers looking to reduce energy costs and carbon emissions.
Key Changes
The plan consolidates several existing schemes into a more streamlined framework. The focus is on fabric-first improvements combined with renewable energy generation, particularly for properties currently rated EPC D or below.
What This Means for Homeowners
Enhanced grant amounts for heat pumps, continued support for solar PV and battery storage, and new incentives for whole-house retrofit approaches. The emphasis is on tackling fuel poverty while reducing carbon emissions.
What This Means for Social Landlords
Increased funding targets for social housing decarbonisation, with a particular focus on achieving EPC C across the entire housing stock. New reporting requirements and compliance standards are being introduced.
How to Prepare
Whether you're a homeowner or social landlord, now is the time to assess your properties, understand your baseline EPC ratings, and plan your improvement pathway. Early movers will benefit from the best funding availability.
